2006 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	More padding, slightly larger than e46 sport seats, fully adjustable side bolsters and the Dakota leather seems thicker and softer than the e-46 leather. see full BMW 3-Series review

2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car. see full BMW 3-Series review
